Asbestos Surveys
The launch of the Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 introduced Regulation 4 ‘The Duty to Manage Asbestos in Non Domestic Properties' (Revised 2006 and 2012). This new regulation created an explicit duty to assess and manage the risks from asbestos in premises. The risks will vary with circumstances, ranging from normal occupation of a building to the repair, refurbishment and demolition of a premises, and each property or site will need to be assessed by means of a survey.

This assessment will be used to produce a management plan and risk assessments which details and records the actions to be undertaken to manage and reduce the risks from asbestos. HSG 264 Asbestos: The Survey Guide refers to two different types of survey: Management Surveys and Refurbishment & Demolition (R&D) Surveys.

Asbestos Management Surveys
A management survey is the standard survey. Its purpose is to locate, as far as reasonably practicable, the presence and extent of any suspect Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) to a building or site which could be damaged or disturbed during normal occupancy, including foreseeable maintenance and installation, and to assess their condition. Management surveys will often involve minor intrusive work and some disturbance.

Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Surveys (R&D)
Prior to any works to a property or site, whether localised or full demolition is planned, an R&D Asbestos Survey is needed. This type of survey is used to locate and describe, as far as reasonably practicable, all ACMs in the area where the refurbishment work will take place or in the whole building, if demolition is planned. The survey will be fully intrusive and involve destructive inspection, as necessary, to gain access to all areas, including those that may be difficult to reach.

Asbestos Management and Risk Assessment
Looking for an asbestos risk assessment and management plan? We can assist you with your existing management of Asbestos Containing Materials found to your site. Successful management of Asbestos Containing Materials is based on the effective identification, inspection and the implementation of an effective management programme.

Working alongside your own staff, we can review your existing management plan and risk assessments, and update your records with any noted deterioration or further asbestos which has been revealed since the original survey. Should you not have any asbestos register or management plan in place, we can attend your site and carry out a survey for you. Whether it is an Asbestos Management Survey or Pre-Refurbishment or Demolition Survey, we have experienced staff who can assist you every step of the way to successful management of Asbestos Containing Materials.
